Nvidia, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta gave Trump $92M for his ballroom

A newly released donor list shows major tech and crypto players funneled substantial money into the restoration and outfitting of the White House ballroom, with Silicon Valley and the crypto industry collectively contributing over $150 million. Six prominent companies - Nvidia and Apple ($25 million each), Google ($22 million), Microsoft ($10 million), Amazon ($5 million), and Meta ($5 million) - account for $92 million of that total. Donations came in different forms: direct corporate gifts, contributions routed through charitable organizations tied to companies, and sizable checks from industry executives. Google’s $22 million is noted as stemming from a controversial 2025 settlement.

The list also names other significant contributors and amounts: Palantir $10 million, Comcast NBCUniversal $7.5 million, T-Mobile, Cisco, Coinbase, Roblox CEO David Baszucki, Ripple Labs, and ServiceNow each at about $5 million (the Winklevoss twins at $5.05 million), with HP and Micron at $2.5 million and Salesforce $2 million. The record underscores concentrated financial support from large tech firms and crypto interests toward a high-profile government renovation project, highlighting both the scale of industry influence and the mix of corporate, philanthropic, and individual channels used to make these donations.
